    Razor restoration skill level 1000

    Truly stunning, I was pleased with myself for managing to put a new set of scales on a blade, now I realise just how inferior my skills are. You are a true craftsman.

    I like that not only did you "dress her up" but you were also able to correct some significant bevel issues that possibly saved this razor from a junk pile.

    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

    karlej, you got that bevel nailed! This entire razor is beautiful. Thanks for sharing I love the horn as well.

    Very maneuverable as a 6/8 and a typical buttery smooth Sheffield shave.
